thanks so much for the encouragement, I really appreciate it. I wish I had your insurance! I will hopefully know by next month. My surgeon's office says that this has never happened to them before and they just don't know how Aetna will react. Logically, I would think that they would let me try again, but with insurance you just never know.

they think it was the vasodilation or tilting of table, and surgeon had no control over the anesthesiologist stopping surgery.

can anyone help me. i had lapband surgery in august, during the surgery my heartrate dropped and the anesthesiologist stopped the surgery. I had 2 incisions and the procedure was started but stopped there. My insurance is Aetna POS and I am wondering if they would pay for the surgery to be finished even though they paid out the benefits to the surgeon, hospital, and anesthesiologist! My surgeon's office has never had this situation and I have been cleared by a cardiologist and he assures me he will resubmit but I am wondering what my chances might be. I am bitterly disappointed!
